Project: satisfied-communication

Environment: production

Service: mcp-production

Custom domain: mcp.verittasllc.com

Custom domain ID: 406fddef-38fc-44a3-a87d-a6d9f30544bf

Expected CNAME: p2lx6u40.up.railway.app

The custom domain is shown as valid in Railway and its public CNAME resolves correctly.

DNS diagnostics:

  • CNAME resolves to p2lx6u40.up.railway.app
  • No AAAA record
  • No CAA record restricting Let's Encrypt

After approximately 72 hours, Railway still serves its default certificate:

  • Subject: CN=*.up.railway.app
  • SAN: *.up.railway.app, up.railway.app
  • Hostname verification: error 62, hostname mismatch

The latest deployment remains unchanged:

6d5df5cb-3a6f-4e50-900b-ff15a8ad2f3f

Commit: 6655b56abd50b54d3dc8092c0be286aec9bdc6ca

The service is intentionally fail-closed and offline with

MCP_PRODUCTION_RUNTIME_ENABLED=false. We cannot enable the runtime merely to

provision TLS.

Please inspect the custom-domain certificate issuance and advise whether the

certificate can be issued while the application remains fail-closed. Please do

not trigger a deployment, redeployment, domain recreation, or service

configuration change without confirmation.

Your CNAME is correctly propagated, but the TXT ownership-verification record is absent, which is why the certificate has not issued. Add a TXT record at the host shown in your domain's settings (the _railway-verify entry for this domain) with the token value displayed there. Your registrar's DNS panel is where this record goes. Once it propagates, certificate issuance proceeds on its own with no deployment or service change needed.

Domain mcp.verittasllc.com remains “Waiting for DNS update”. CNAME is accepted. The required verification TXT matches exactly on both authoritative nameservers, Google DNS, and Cloudflare DNS. TLS hostname verification fails with OpenSSL error 62. Please investigate the pending domain verification without changing DNS, recreating the domain, or triggering a deployment.

Your DNS is correct, and the earlier reply saying the TXT record was absent was wrong. We verified that both your CNAME and TXT verification record are properly configured and matching. Certificate re-issuance has been triggered for this domain. Verification and certificate provisioning should complete within a few minutes, with no deployment or service change required.
